Coldethyl, sorry to read that you're another sufferer of this dreadful affliction, it really is the pits. Do you ever take Triptan at the start of one - I find sometimes it works, other times not, I only take a half to start with though as it knocks me sideways.
Sparkle, I've got an appointment tomorrow at Kings College Neurology / Headache Services - it must be a cancellation, I rang to say I had been waiting for some time (GP had not attached a letter so the referral was not processed) - then I received the appointment promptly - so maybe I'll get a diagnosis of the type of migraine.
Migraine Action told me about this specialist, Professor Anne MacGregory who specialises in hormonal migraine - the website has some good information, including a link to a migraine App and some books:

Migraine Trust have just updated their website:
http://www.migrainetrust.org/I also received the information from Jan de Vries Healthcare about the homeopathic remedy for migraines and headaches - it's called Migraine Echtroplex imported from Germany, £15.02 for 50ml. Apparently they've received good feedback from users. It contains 10 different homeopathic ingredients, one of which is:
Strychnos nux-vomica dil D4 5ml - alleviates headaches, aching muscles, indigestion and vomiting. Also eases irregular menstruation and associated hormonal upset.
I may try this, just thinking about it. I could Procrastinate / Dither for England though when deciding what I should do next with both migraine and HRT treatment - and in general!
Guess we can live in hope that the migraines will eventually get less and less ...
Hope you're all keeping well.
